Scream for Ice Cream! Recipes for National Ice Cream Month

National Ice Cream Month; it's finally here! 31 days full of reasons to celebrate ice cream in all of it's forms. We don't necessarily need a designated month to celebrate this cold and creamy treat, but you can thank Ronald Reagan for making it official 28 years ago.

When I was younger, I used to prefer my ice cream with swirls of peanut butter and chunks of chocolate. Now I'm more into simple, understated flavors and have even dabbled in a little homemade ice cream making.

No matter how you prefer your ice cream, these fun, summer recipes and ideas will definitely help you kick off ice cream month with a bang!

Ever since I saw this DIY 10 foot banana split on
